THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
The Unpardonable Sin
MATTHEW 12:31, 'Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shalt be forgiven unto men: but blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.'
LUKE 12:10; MATTHEW 12:24-31; MARK 3:22-30
The word 'blaspheme' means 'to speak evil of; defame; or revile.' In context, Jesus is saying that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is attributing the working of the Holy Spirit to the devil. Many people in the Bible did this, including Saul, who became the Apostle Paul. However, we see in 1 Timothy 1:13, that Paul said he received mercy concerning his blaspnemy because he had done it 'ignorantly in unbelief.' Therefore, the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost that Jesus warns about must be the willful...
ARE YOU NOW, OR HAVE YOU EVER, BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS? IF YOU HAVE, GOOD...REJOICE...BE GLAD...PRAY THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. DO YOU THINK I AM NUTS FOR SAYING ALL THIS? LOOK WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS...(MATTHEW 5: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.) NOW YOU SEE WHY I CAN SAY THIS.
Being Yoked To Jesus
Matthew 11:28-30, 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'
MATTHEW 11:20-30
Yokes were made of wood with two hollowed out sections on the bottom portion that rested on the necks of oxen, which used to plow or to draw a cart. Figuratively, a yoke symbolized servitude or submission. Jesus is admonishing us to submit ourselves to Him, for true rest comes from serving Him - not ourselves.
A new ox was often trained for plowing or drawing a cart by yoking him with an experienced ox. The yoke kept the young ox from...
I TALK A LOT ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE SAVED AND THAT IS FIRST AND FOREMOST BUT WE CAN'T STOP THERE. YOU MIGHT ASK WHAT IS THEREAFTER BEING BORN AGAIN. NATURALLY, YOU SHOULD START LIVING A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE BUT THAT STILL IS NOT ALL.
Our Inheritance With Christ
Matthew 11:11, 'Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.'
MATTHEW 11:2-19, LUKE 7:18-35
Much of the Old Testament deals with future events and the coming Messiah and His Kingdom. Not only was John the Baptist the voice of God to his generation, he was also the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. He did not merely prophesy about the coming Messiah and the New Covenant, as the Old Testament prophets did, but he actually prepared the way for the hearts of the people to receive Jesus by bearing witness to the Light.
Although John the Baptist was the...
Whose Faith Was It
Luke 7:13-14, 'And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not, And he came and touched the bier: and they that bear him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.'
LUKE 7:11-17
This example of the widow's son being raised from the dead is often used to demonstrate that Jesus produced many miracles without any faith from those receiving the miracle but by His faith alone. However, the prayer in Mark 6:5-6 shows that Jesus could not (nor would not) do many mighty works in His home town because of the people's unbelief. Many scriptures reveal that faith must be present to receive from God (Mk. 11:23-24; Jas. 1:5-7).
So, whose faith was present in this instance?...
